Answer
The Notebook is a private, personal page that collects everything a student writes and commits to during your course. It replaces the old PDF recap that was attached to reminder emails, and gives students a real, living place to look back on their progress.
What the Notebook contains
For every completed lesson, the Notebook shows:
- The lesson title and module name
- The student's answer to the exercise question (written response or a practice check-in)
- The commitment the student made: what action, by when, and what they will deliver
- The status of the reminder email scheduled for that commitment
Everything appears in the same order as your course, so students can follow their journey from start to finish.
How students get there
Students land on their Notebook automatically at two moments:
- After completing a module, a button appears: "Go to your Notebook"
- At the end of the full course
They can also return to it any time via the direct URL. The page address is translated per language: notitieboek in Dutch, notebook in English, and notizbuch in German.
Privacy and visibility
The Notebook is completely private. Only the student themselves can see it. You as the course creator cannot view it, and the page is not indexed by search engines. Students can reflect and write freely, knowing their answers stay personal.
What you need to set up
Nothing. The Notebook is generated automatically the moment a student starts your course. There are no settings to configure.
Tips
- Mention the Notebook in your course copy early on. For example: "Your Notebook is your personal home base for everything you reflect on and commit to in this course." This sets expectations and encourages students to use it actively.
- Because students land on their Notebook after each module, it naturally reinforces the habit of reviewing what they have learned and committed to.
- The Notebook works especially well in transformation-focused courses where reflection and follow-through are part of the experience.
